❔ is there an asynchronous Console.ReadLine() replacement?
hey, so i'm making a console application and main problem i'm running into is, because it's an application for a server, whenever i start writing something (i have a check that stops ReadLine if there's no letters typed in) the server gets timed out, because i have to call an update function on it every tic, so what i have currently is far from ideal, and i've looked into it and Console.ReadLine() is a synchronous function, which means it stops everything until it gets the "enter" key pressed, and i want the application to keep running in the background. Oh and honestly i wouldn't mind that much making my own system for that based on key presses if it means it's asynchronous.

Console.Out.WriteLineAsync, but i've heard that you should not use async with console stuffdoesn't that write a line? i want it to read lines, basically what
Console.ReadLine() does perfectly, but asynchronousso use
Console.In.ReadLineAsync...alright
what does console application for a server mean
basically just a console app (you can use
Console.WriteLine() and Console.ReadLine()) for a video game server i'm making, i use a library which does all the heavy lifting so i only do stuff like check if someone types in port then i switch the port etc.Was this issue resolved? If so, run
